Rovaeanthus suffrutescens is a scrambling shrub or subshrub in the coffee family, native to wet tropical forests of Chiapas in Mexico and southwest Guatemala. It is little known in cultivation, so growing it is mainly a matter of mimicking its humid tropical forest conditions.
Rovaeanthus suffrutescens is a species of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae. It is a shrub native to Mexico and Guatemala, that grows 1–2 metres (3.3–6.6 ft) high.
Rovaeanthus suffrutescens was first described in 1914 as Rondeletia suffrutescens. It was moved to the genus Rovaeanthus in 2004.
Rovaeanthus suffrutescens is native to the wet tropical biome of Mexico (Chiapas) and south-west Guatemala.
